p.
I wasn't telling the answers yet
and Keever paced the floor al
most a solid hour while Sheriff
Nelson's deputies rounded up the
missing members of the cast.
Keever still thought 1 was bluff
ine, but he hoped, for his own
sake, not mine, that I'd have an
out. If I went over for bribery
and murder, the Patterson ma
chine would make such political
capital of it that Keever would
have to postpone his try for gov
ernor. . :
Colonel Winton was the first to
appear. He was filled with resent
ment at what he called virtual
arrest, but he was also filled with
a combination of fear and curio
sity that made him almost eager.
It was probably curiosity that
made Sammy Berend submit to an
escort of sheriff’s deputies. He
walked in with a gleam in his eye.
“We asked him about this Hill
year dame,” said one of the es
corting deputies. “He gave us her
Fiutel address, but she wasn’t
there.”
I felt let down. Keever was ey
ing me severely. I couldn’t stall
any longer. So I said: “Well, I
hate to go on with my alibi wit
ness missing, but here it is. Right
from the beginning. Too bad Kay
isn’t here to take it down, Boss.”
Waring stirred unea@lly. “I'm
sure I don’t know what’s detaining
my secretary. She told me she
would get a cab and come right
out.”
“She can take Ben's statement
g:r,” said Keever. “Go ahead,
, and it had better good!”
I told my story from beginning
to end, ending that is, when the
highway patrol officers had nailed
me. When I had finished, Keever
said coldly.
®You claim only one alibi wit
®ess, Wendy Hillyer, who's miss
§ng. Only she-—you say—saw you
enter your apartment house. No
body saw you leave it. No bus
driver or passenger will remem
ber you, even with your cut tem
ple, that McGregor must have
given you before he died! As for
your car being in a parking lot,
vou wouldn’t have used your own
car anyway—you'd have used an
othg.”
“Pardon my interruption,” said
Sammy Berend with a vicious
filnt in his eyes, “but I was with
iss Hillyer all afternoon from the
time I left Colonel Winton's office
until 5 when I took her to her
hotel!”
- * -
It was possible that this ambu
lance chaser had lingered long
cw\fl‘ln Winton’s office to give
her to drive back, but it was
more probable that he was get
ting even for that testimony I had
fi'm against him at the time of
s disbarment proceedings.
Keever commented: “Whether
the Hillyer girl was with you or
not means nothing. You've no
alidd from the time you say she
knocked you out. You might have
recovered consciousness a* minute
later!”
“But T didn't! And, as for this
eut on my temple, you should
knew that McGregor couldn’t have
put it there. The absence of pow
der marks on his face indicates
that his murderer fired from a
distance.”
“Speaking of the ;'nurderer, I
thought you were going to name
him. Un{ess you meant to name
yourself, I don't follow you.”
“I'm not through yet, boss. 1
was in hopes the Hillyer girl would
be found by this time. I wanted
to hear he: story so—" :
There was a commotion outside,
Then Wendy Hillyer appeared, es- ‘
corted by a sheriff's deputy.
“She came her of her own ac
cord, chief,” said the deputy. “She |
wants to see Miss McGregor.” 1
Wendy Hillyer walked straight
to Sylvia McGregor. If she saw
me she gave no sign of it. |
“I'm so sorry!” she told Sylvia
McGregor. The two girls went
through a hugging act. T noticed
that the color was rising in Sam
my Berend's face. Then Wendy
Hillyer said:
“But I've some good news for
you'!” T've just left Sammy Ber
end’s office. Here’s all the proof
you need!”
She opened thai big handbag
that bad once dumped and took
out & sheaf of paper.
“This will prove that Bernend
conspired to ruin your father’s
company, then bribed Colonel
Winton to allow all those ridicu
lous claims in full!”
“What's this?” Keever demand
ed. “What've vou got there?”
Wendy Hiflyer eyed Keever
mufly. Sylvia MeGregor
and she handed over the
doeuments.
«*See for yourself!™

Anyone could see without ex
ami&yn‘ the documents. Colo
nel Winton looked as if he was
about to have a stroke. Sammy
Berend was a greenish yellow.

“T went to school with Sylvia,”
said Wendy Hillyer. “When her
father got into a jam, she asked
me to come to Capital City and
win the confidence of Sammy Ber
end. It seems that Mr. Berend is
even more fond of redheads than
he is of blonds. I was making
progress, but it was slow and pain
ful work, so after the radio an
nounced Mr. McGregor’s death I
decided to take drastic action. I
got some keys from Sammy and
tonight I went through his office.
You've got the result.”
Keever was listening but hastily
seanning the documents. He whis
tled and turned to Sammy Berend.
“Well, this takes care of you for
life, Sammy! The bar association
grievance committee will show
you no quarter this time!” He
turned on Colonel Winton. As
for you, a fine crook you turned
out to be!”
Colonel Winton started to stut
ter, but Sammy Berend snapped
him off with:
“Keep you mouth shut, you
boob! Don’t talk till you've seen
a lawyer!”
X 1
Keever turned to Wendy Hill
yer. ”My chief investigator—
former chief investigator, that is
—told me a wild story about kid
naping you and then getting
slugged in his apartment by you.
Anything to it?”
Wendy Hillyer eyed me and
nodded. “I should have hit him
harder. He made poor Mr. Mc-
Gregor borrow SSOOO from his
friends to bribe him to keep him
out of jail. And then he came here
to arrest Mr. McGregor and mur
dered him!”
T said: “Before you stop talking,
Miss Hillyer, tell us why you made
that call to Mr. Keever this morn~
ing. This is Mr, Keever, if you
don't recognize his voice.”
The girl turned to Keever: “I
did that because I didn’t want to
see this rat, Corbett, get away with
all that money! I thought that if
I didn’t mention his name, he'd
never guess that the call had
anything to do with Sylvia or her
father. 1 suppose it's partly my
fault he got desperate and mur
dered Mr, McGregor!”
Keever turned slowly. “That
adds up! Got anything to say,
Ben? What about naming the
murderer as yourself and getting
it over with?”
' “I couldn’t do that, boss. There’s
the murderer, standing over
there.”
1 pointed to Paul Waring, He
eyed me with a smile:
“That's a good one, Corbett!
Why did I murder McGregor?”
“Because you'd been bleeding
him plenty! As first assistant at
torney general in charge of the
legal phase of the liquidation of
McGregor’s company, you con
vinced him that only you could
keep him out of jail because of
his technical violation of the law.
“ You also convinced him that
he musin’t tell a soul, not even
his own daughter or his lawyer
of the bribery. He had to raise a
chunk of money from his friends.
How much, T don’t know, but it
was so much that they couldn’t
put up more as bail when his
daughter and Lew Jeris solicited
them this afternoon.
“That tipped me off, Waring,
that other bribe money had been
paid. The five grand McGregor
and his daughter raised to pay
off me was chicken feed compared
with what vou collected. It took
an awfully big chunk to make
them say no to his own daughter’s
appeals.
“You're the only man who could
have gotten away with such a big
bribe deal — outside of Keever
himself, and I have more confi
dence in his honesty than he has
in mine. I should have guessed that
I wasn’t the only one McGregor
was threatening when he said that
if he went to jail he'd have ‘plenty
of company.’
“He was thinking about you.
Especially when I told him that
you had demanded his arrest. So
te called you on his extension
phone and made the some threat
to yvou that he made to me. And
you came out here, slipped in via
the back road and the woodlot,
conked Shelton *and murdered
MeGregor!”
- - L
Waring eved me almost pity
ly. “That's quite a story, Cor
bett! But why would I accept a
bribe, then run the risk of expo
sure by demanding the arrest of
ht eperunsoppdseos n-q-ns ", ao
the person supposed to bribe me?”
Keever said severely: “An ob
vious point, Ben. Waring would
be crazy to do a thing like that!”
“Not if Waring knew for days
‘that Durbin had been messing
around the McGregor file and my
report. He knew that Durbin
would go to you and point out
that McGregor was technically
liable. And he knew what a stick
ler for technicalities you are! He
was afraid you'd demand Mc-
Gregor’s arrest. So he prepared
himself for that contingency.
“He had some girl phone Mc-
Gregor and demanded a bribe in
my name that was to convince
McGregor, if anything did go
wrong and he was arrested, that
it wasn’'t Waring’s fault. Then,
when you called him into the of
fice today and told him of Dur
bin’s beef about McGregor's tech
nical crime, Waring knew the fat
was in the fire. He had to insist on
McGregor’s arrest to save his own

U. N. FLAG MAY FLY IN SOUTH KOREAN WARFARE
This is the flag of the United Nations
which may be flown by Americans and
others fighting to stop the Communist in
vasion of South Korea. The flag is light
blue and bears a polar map of the world
face. He did it safely, figuring that
McGregor would keep his mouth
shut and expose only me if he
expressed anyone at all. But I told
McGregor this afternoon that the
heat came from Waring. So he
made the mistake of threatening
Waring. It cost him his life!”
Keever looked at me as if he
thought I was nuts. Then there
was another commotion outside.
and a deputy brought in another
girl, Waring’s pretty secretary,
Ruth Berry.
“I'm sorry I was so late,” sihe
apologized to everyone in general.
“I simply couldn’t get a cab!”
Sylvia McGregor got np slowly,
She pointed toward Ruth Berry.
“Why—why , that’s the woman
who phoned dad and said she was
calling for Ben Corbett! I recog=-
nize her voice—l was listening in
on the downstairs phone while
she talked today on the exten
sion.”
. *
It was the ball game, all right.
Ruth Berry blew higher than a
V-2, and when she was through
talking, her boy friend, Paul War
ing, was sewed up so tight he
decided on the spot to plead guilty
to beat the chair.
Keever weathered the scandal
in fine style. He caught the public
eye by turning an accusing finger
on Governor Patterson’s insurance
department. It helped also when
he got McGregor’s company pulled
out of liguidation and upset the
fraudulent findings of Colonel
Winston’s claim commission. Syl
via McGregor took over the re
vived company and married Lew
Jeris,
I even found out who had made
that 10 o'clock phone call to my
apartment house. It was one of
those radio rating outfits—the
gal called me back the next day
and asked if I was listening to
“The Case of the Cockeyed Igan
garoo,” that new mvstery serial.

Poor Man's Philosopher Tells
Pro And Con Of Atom Bomb Use
BY HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK— (AP) — Should
America use the atom bomb
against North Korea?
If it plans to do so, it might be
better to do it now than later.
There is no sound military ar
gument against wusing it—right
now, And there is no sound moral
or legal argument either.
The Communist invaders have
been described as bandits by Pres
ident Truman. Against armed ban
dits any employment of counter
force is morally justified by that
oldest of reasons — self-defense.
The call by the Security Council
of the United Nations to “render
every assistance” to the South Ko
reans also gives full legal justifi
cation for using the atom bomb.
And the most pertinent reasons
of all is — it will save American
lives, It did this in Japan, and it
will do the same thing in Korea,
At this moment American sol
diers are outnumbered and out
gunned on the ground in Korea,
fighting a foe equipped with heav
ier tanks and more artillery.
Already an American head?uar
ters has geen forced .o retreat and
a forward American infantry posi
tion has been reported cut off. We
stand exactly as we did in the ear
ly days of North Africa. Within a
week we have had small Kasser
ine gap — and perhaps a miniature
Bataan, too.
Before the real weight of United
States arms can be thrown into
battle, there may be the humilia
tion of more retreats, more gutoff
troops. For only. a small heroic
ground force as yet is in the field
to uphold the prestige of a great
nation,
. With the arms they have it may
be only possible for them to fight
delaying actions until vast help
comes. Today they are lonely men,
and home must seem far away,
A new armada of B-20s has
been flown to the Pacific, Do they
hold atom bombs in their bellies?
Some observers still hope that if
the North Koreans were warned

atomic consequences, they might
yet pull back across the 38th par
allel.
If such an ultimatum is given
and the invaders don’t begin to
withdraw, then the atomic arsenal
might quickly change their minds.
But if we do decide to use the
atom bomb, we don’t have to de
pend on one. We can throw them
around like baseballs. We have a
stockpile now. And each can cin-~
der a battle area of one square
mile — and probably much more.
The atom bomb has been re
garded as a strategic weapon, with
eities as its natural target. But it
is also a tremendous and effective
tactical weapon. It can be used
against concentrations of troops
and tanks on the ground.
Whenever men and armor mass
for attack, and they do have to
mass to eross rivers or go through
valleys, the atom bomb can find
and destroy them.
“The bombs were delivered by

Bob Terry Takes
Active Partln
Scout Ceremony
In a letter received from Bud
Emory, who is a leader with the
Athens Boy Scouts at the National
Jamboree at Valley Forge, Pen
nsylvania, it was revealed that the
Athens delegation is undergoing
some real experiences,
In his letter Mr. Embry said that
all the boys attended the opening
ceremony at the big arena at Val
ley Forge and heard Gov. J. H.
Duff, of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, welcome the huge
crowd of 75,000 spirited scouts
and visitors.
President Harry S. Truman was
present at the scout gathering and
was awarded the Silver Buffalo
Award for his wide service to
Boy Scouts and to the youth of
the world. ;
In addressing the group, the
President said that Americans
should be thankful for our good
government of today, and for the
fact that Americans are allowed
the freedom of thoughts and ac
tions as they are, He called upon
the Boy Scouts to help spread
their ideal of human brotherhood
to the nations where youths are
being regimented for hate and
war.
According to the letter, the Pre
sident pointed out that each state
in the union is well represented at
the Jamboree and that there are
many scouts from foreign lands.
He also noted that the Jamboree
is a good practical demonstration
of how to achieve world under
standing,
Mr. Embry’s letter said that Bob
Terry, son of Dr. and Mrs. A. E.
Terry of Athens served as 2
torchbearer in the Crusade to
strengthen the arm of Liberty
Ceremony. and that The North

growth in the number of agenecies
growth in the number of agancies
now providing bedside nursing on
an increasing scale, and the result
ing very considerable diminution
in the requests from its policy
holders for its nursing service, the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany has decided to discontinue
that service in its entirety not lat
er than January 1, 1953. The an
nouncement was made by Presi
dent Leroy A. Lincoln in a state
ment sent to the ecompany’s field
force, to the nursing associations
affiliated throughout the United
States and Canada in carrying on
home visiting nurse service, and
to its own visiting nurse staff,
In view of these developments
and other conditions affecting re
quests for nursing service, Mr,
Lincoln stated that the company
had reached the conclusion that
the use of its visiting nurse ser
vice is no longer sufticientl{ wide
spread to warrant its continuance
in the light of the opportunity to
serve the interests of all policy
holders in other ways. Every ef
fort will be made by the compa
ny to assist the develo:;ment
through other instrumentalities of
vigorous and permanent commu
nity services, particularly of the
voluntary type. »
